I am going to try to bring some stickers (assuming they arrive in time) of this fella to the @lowerpowered Meeting of the Mats meet in OB on October 29th. In the meantime I merged him with a wave photo I had in my library.#MatSurfing#SanDiego#OceanBeach#Stoke

I don’t remember making this card for my father (highlighting his snowboarding and identification with the 101st Airborne Division, which he served with in Vietnam as a combat medic). I suspect it was a Christmas/Holiday card. It’s really not bad.

Dipped into @sketchpartysd after a long absence and it’s still an excellent hang. Stay hours or a moment. It’s a good hang. Thanks @randallchristopher for keeping that home fire burning. And if you’re reading this: draw. Yes, you!#sketchpartysd
CRAWDADDY. Among the places I lived as a kid were New Orleans & Gretna, Louisiana. What do children in Louisiana nickname a boy with the surname “Crawford?”: Crawdad, Crawfish, Crawdaddy. And so: this. In an old photo I spotted a tiny drawing taped to the side of the b&w tv attached to my TI-99/4a computer. It was too blurry to see the details but had the word “CRAWDADDY” in overlapping capitals with a cartoon crawfish sitting in a similar chair typing at a similar computer. 40 years later: this drawing.

Detail: “Beach Toys” a risograph print currently hanging at @thebrownbuilding in the “POOR MATERIALS” show curated by @sketchbook.definition and open Saturday and Sunday evening this weekend. I’m so proud. As we were driving home from the show and after-show tacos I got a Venmo notification that for the first time ever a stranger paid money in exchange for art I made. 80% of that sale will go back to The Brown Building which is a wellness and community center run by and for BIPOC trans folks. Feeling: gratitude and joy.
This illustration by Shaun Kerri was reportedly published in CARtoons Magazine. When? Based on the Locals Only t-shirt, boom box, sunglasses and painter’s cap: early 1980s. That beach wall could only be Mission or Pacific Beach. Shaun Kerri was an incredible draughtsperson and cartoonist. Details on her retreat from art are spotty and mostly speculative. None of my business. This cartoon looks like the PB and MB of my teenage years. It’s unlike any drawing I would ever share: lascivious and debauched, yet brilliant. I’ve colored the image in Procreate as an exercise. I look forward to a day when I’ll be able to purchase a collection of reprints of Shaun Kerri’s work. What an artist!#ShaunKerri

@trixxieland is a whirling dervish of curation! This was her last week assembling the Anthropomorphic Art Show of which I’m a part this month (“Cube Cat’s Drink”, a Riso print printed by @burn_all_books. The show opened tonight at @mikehessbrewing in North Park. Super fun. Follow Trixie’s account @arthang1 for cool San Diego art doings!

One of my favorite things to do with downtime anywhere, let alone at San Diego Comic-Con, is an exquisite corpse. Each creator takes a turn making marks—as little or as much as they like—on the page. This one was done waiting for the SDCC Masquerade to start. Credit: me, @hellokellykuhl, @missewon & @cup_o_teag.

SUPER CHONK! collaboration with the creator @missewon!#sdcc
I saw a sea lion playground toy from the train outside Chicago. I hope those kids who play on it get to meet one. (2060 miles [3315 km] to La Jolla Cove)#inktober#inktober2021#hopetober

The rough drafts of comics can result in some interesting artifacts. Even if editing decisions go elsewhere. #brushtober
Quickietober!
